Athletics
As an alumnus of Aquinas, I take immense pride in our institution's enduring commitment to academic and athletic excellence. Throughout its storied history, Aquinas has maintained a steadfast belief in the importance of a comprehensive athletic program as a vital component of our educational mission.
Our athletics program at Aquinas is dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable, and supportive environment where our student-athletes can cultivate valuable traits such as character, integrity, loyalty, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We are proud to note that a significant number of our students actively participate in athletics and extracurricular activities.
Our coaches, who are among the finest in their fields, not only impart athletic skills but also instill values that promote lifelong fitness and a commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. We strive to ensure that our athletics program reflects our school motto, "Teach me goodness, discipline, and knowledge."
To our current student-athletes and those considering joining our athletics programs, you'll find not just a team, but a family that supports you both on and off the field. You will forge enduring friendships and develop a profound dedication to Aquinas, embodying the spirit of our alma mater, "Aquinas Evermore." Above all, remember the words, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."
Go Irish!
Sincerely,
Athletics 2024 Updates

Boxing
The Aquinas Mission Bouts is not to be confused with professional boxing. Instead, we at Aquinas follow the rules of amateur boxing and apply additional rules to make the program safer. Participants are provided with headgear, gloves, hand wraps, custom fit mouthpieces, and foul protectors. Controlled spars, and matching boxers based on skill level, style, and weight, are other ways in which Aquinas protects its boxers.
The season stresses training and conditioning, which is essential to the sport of boxing. Our training will provide the students with a means to gain strength, flexibility, and endurance. Boxing at Aquinas is used to educate the student and help them prepare for future years by building their self-confidence, teaching them to control their emotions inside and outside of the ring, and how hard work pays off.

Softball - Modified
This Program strives to be the best that it can be by improving individual efforts, which in turn, improves the total TEAM effort. In order to have a total team effort, players must understand the philosophy that no one player is greater than the team itself. Each player must be committed to the team, have a positive attitude toward coaches and teammates, be self-motivated and disciplined, challenge themselves to always do better by maximizing their effort, and most importantly, believe that they have what it takes to be a winner.
Of course, as a team our goal is to win games and if we use the philosophy stated above and put forth our very best effort, a win should be expected. But as a team, if our very best effort does not result in a win, we can take pride in the fact that we did our very best.
